This visit makes Vice President Harris’s ninth trip to North Carolina since being sworn in. In September, she visited Greensboro as part of her “Fight for Our Freedoms” college tour in which she energized more than 15,000 students and young leaders at HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and public universities. Prior to that, she was in Charlotte to deliver remarks about reproductive freedom during a rally to observe the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
